Here’s one for you, Nixon of the sun says Chris Wilder of Sheffield Utd interested in Burke and a swap deal for Calum Robinson. I would bite there hand off.

Funny season is underway.
RE: 2020 Summer Transfer Window - 19th August - Salopbaggie - 23-08-2020
Being reported in the E & S as well now along with, we had all ready made a bid of £4 million for Calum Robinson, I would have been offended at that offer if I were Wilder. They paid £8 mil for him and want their money back, if the deals on the table for a Burke swap, I would grab it in a heartbeat, as long as personal terms were acceptable.
RE: 2020 Summer Transfer Window - 19th August - Blue Baggie - 24-08-2020
I'm unsure if it's media meddling, translation confusion or Bilic is signalling that WBA won't invest in the squad.
Which ever you look at it Bilic"s position s looking sticky at the moment.
Open invite for other clubs to come and get him?

Looks like Leko (another band name?) is off
https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-brom-accept-birmingham-city-18819407
Shame - a couple of years ago I thought he looked a real talent and would be a big star for us.
RE: 2020 Summer Transfer Window - 19th August - SomersetBaggie - 24-08-2020
Rumoured to be signing Brighton keeper David Button for around £1m. The rumour regarding Burke and Robbo seems to be building up, would be a great deal for us.

Sadly Leko has never taken the next step to secure a place in the squad - our youngsters make the breakthrough and it's almost as they think
that's job done. So many nearly guys. We have quite a few again now. I only see Field, Palmer and O'Shea ATM as having the potential and desire
to "bridge that gap" (Another band name?) Some of the others are very capable of playing pro football, but not at the top level. But next
year could make me totally wrong. What do I know - many have blossomed in later years.

Looks to me as the Leko deal and the Burke deal are getting closer. What do people think about these do they approve. I will start by saying
1/ to me leko looked really good when he came on the scene, but has not moved on very far over 4 years, but to be fair to him, he was starting to look more effective until he got his latest injury. I take it that the club are selling him as he is not willing sign a new contract, as long as the club can put in a good sell on clause, I think it is ok.
I hope also it means we keep Sam Field as I think he is a better prospect, although I think he needs to go out on loan again this year.
2/ swapping Burke for Robinson is a master stroke. Obviously Burke had some talent at Forest, but for some reason, it has not worked out for him whilst he has been with us. I would pay 1 to 2 million on top to get this deal done, but again a good sell on clause is probably needed for both sides of the deal.
Your opinions are sought.
RE: 2020 Summer Transfer Window - 19th August - drewks - 25-08-2020
HarrogateB, agree with your comments, and good idea about the sell on clauses.
The Burke thing is strange isn't it. He seems to have gone backwards, if anything, with us. I had hoped that it was just that "he didn't work 'aard enough" for a certain manager and that he'd come good again with SB; not to be.
I guess he's still young enough...... if this deal goes through though you can bet he'll score at least 4 against us in the 2 games!!
